In addition, all of these biomarkers were significantly correlated with AKI after adjusting clinical confounders (odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the third vs. the first tertile: sST2, 3.55 [2.34–5.49], NT-proBNP, 5.50 [3.54–8.71], H-FABP, 6.64 [4.11–11.06], LDH, 7.47 [4.54–12.64], and UA, 8.93 [5.46–15.06]). The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is acute kidney injury.
